A 40-year-old artist-run, multidisciplinary, nonprofit contemporary arts center, Hallwalls aims to serve artists by supporting the creation and presentation of new work in the visual, media, performing, and literary arts, and to serve the public by making these works available to audiences. We are dedicated to work by artists that challenges and extends traditional artistic boundaries and that engages with current social and artistic issues. Finally, we believe that the right of freedom of expression for artists, and for free access to their works by interested individuals, must be protected.
